MORE NEWS: Social media posts have suggested that President Trump moved to end the official observance of Black History Month, but there is currently no official order or directive to literally “cancel” Black History Month from the President.

FEATURE: Over 42.1 million Americans, about 13% of all families, receive SNAP benefits. More than 1 in 4 of the households enrolled in the program include someone who is earning at least some income.
